Thankfully, we all have the opportunity to peer into and imagine the future. As this world, at this point in time, seems to be spinning out of control, the realities of worldwide hunger, disease, inclement weather patterns, along with all of the wars, are concerns for anyone looking forward. The economic chaos makes it hard to plan, and for most of us, it makes it hard to picture what life will actually be like in ten or fifteen years. It is a huge question mark. Jakes Final Days presents an interesting and realistic view of how one couple decides to handle the possibilities of how our lives could end up. With dramatic and faithful romance, Jakes final days are packed full of surprises that will create in you both laughter and tears, along with exceedingly deep feelings of joy and pain, for your reading pleasure. When things get a bit too crazy for Jake and his wife Rebekah, they plan and prepare to escape to a cabin located on top of a mountain in Tennessee. Although well-planned and well-stocked with provisions, Jake and his wife experience unforeseen injuries and hardships. With the Middle East in desolation, Europe, having communists fighting Muslims, and the United States overrun by drug lords the Third World War is on Jake and Rebekahs doorstep. Only their faith, their will, and their unbreakable bond of love could possibly pull them through. Does it? And to what? Pastor Troy Lanham, Edgewater Christian Fellowship Church, Biloxi, Mississippi

Disgraceland
Author: Jake Brennan
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1538732130
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
From the creator of the popular rock 'n' roll true crime podcast, Disgraceland comes an off-kilter, hysterical, at times macabre book inspired by true stories from the highly entertaining underbelly of music history. You may know Jerry Lee Lewis married his thirteen-year-old cousin but did you know he shot his bass player in the chest with a shotgun or that a couple of his wives died under extremely mysterious circumstances? Or that Sam Cooke was shot dead in a seedy motel after barging into the manager's office naked to attack her? Maybe not. Would it change your view of him if you knew that, or would your love for his music triumph? Real rock stars do truly insane thing and invite truly insane things to happen to them; murder, drug trafficking, rape, cannibalism and the occult. We allow this behavior. We are complicit because a rock star behaving badly is what's expected. It's baked into the cake. Deep down, way down, past all of our self-righteous notions of justice and right and wrong, when it comes down to it, we want our rock stars to be bad. We know the music industry is full of demons, ones that drove Elvis Presley, Phil Spector, Sid Vicious and that consumed the Norwegian Black Metal scene. We want to believe in the myths because they're so damn entertaining. Disgraceland is a collection of the best of these stories about some of the music world's most beloved stars and their crimes. It will mix all-new, untold stories with expanded stories from the first two seasons of the Disgraceland podcast. Using figures we already recognize, Disgraceland shines a light into the dark corners of their fame revealing the fine line that separates heroes and villains as well as the danger Americans seek out in their news cycles, tabloids, reality shows and soap operas. At the center of this collection of stories is the ever-fascinating music industry--a glittery stage populated by gangsters, drug dealers, pimps, groupies with violence, scandal and pure unadulterated rock 'n' roll entertainment.
